Paul Anderson (born 1959) is a British journalist and academic.

Educated at Oxford University (Balliol) and the London College of Printing, Anderson was deputy editor of European Nuclear Disarmament Journal (1984–87), reviews editor of Tribune (1986–91),[1] editor of Tribune (1991–93), deputy editor of the New Statesman (1993–96), co-author with Nyta Mann of Safety First: The Making of New Labour (1997)[2] and editor of Orwell in Tribune: 'As I Please' and Other Writings (2006).[3] He taught journalism at City University, London from 2000 to 2011 and subsequently at the University of Essex.[4]

Anderson's 1997 book, Safety First: The Making of New Labour, is an analysis of the rise and ideas of Britain's New Labour politics Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.[5][6][1] In a review, in The Guardian, MP Roy Hattersley praised Saftey First for its detailed coverage of such issues as John Prescott transformation of ministerial governing, and the Party's "Euro- keynesianism," calling it the "best" book on New Labour.[5]
